With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Greifswald, 35 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Eldena Abbey, St. Mary’s Church and St. Nikolai Cathedral. Sellin is another popular destination. It’s 40 miles away and offers an array of intriguing things to do. Binz Beach, Sellin Pier and Baabe Beach are just the start.
